Well, hopefully I’m right…

His name is throwaway, because that is what society has done to them.

Maybe go for a horse drawn sleigh ride and after, walk over to the covered bridge to propose. Finish up with drinks and apps at Edson Hill’s bar.

My elderly neighbors have a ramp for the winter. Easy to shovel, and made with large enough gaps for the snow melt to run out of. Cheap-ish enough to build. And easy to shovel.

If he says no, just build it heavy enough that it’s impossible to move with one person.

I joined. Thanks!

more power! ARRRRRRR

Nice user name

Hahah this is accurate. We have waco 2.0 in our woods

Jesus, she's basically describing the modern GOP platform. There are too many stupid people buying this crap.

I made the switch to Fidium last fall, absolutely love it.

Haven’t had a single issue and it’s cheaper than xfinity.

And if Vermont kept up with national wages. And if the US fixed it's broken healthcare system that pays billions to health insurance companies to act as useless middlemen that stand between patients and their providers for no reason other than a cash grab.

Policy makers are not average republicans stop being stupid. Pretending that the base of the Republican Party is not poor white non-college educated working class people is moronic. Working manual labor in Vermont means you are white (95% of the population is so fuck off this is a fact) manual labor also pays less than white collar jobs, this is a fact, while some make good money in the trades, on the average a person working construction, or as a mechanic is not making what a person who is a banker, or doctor is making, they tend to be lower middle class.

I don't think he's from VT. He could be but I've noticed an influx of crazy Trumpers mixed in with the folks that fled to this area over the past 2-3 years.

Lol… look at a Facebook group? And I suppose you think Reddit is a good indication of political ideologies too people’s opinions too…

You forgot about right leaning independents/centrist, which would make that 18% if the population more of a fringe group. Kind of like progressives don’t represent all democrats…

For most people like this a "homestead" basically means they own 3 chickens and get in armed stand offs with the local zoning board.

Nah. Dont do it. We have a massive housing shortage here. We dont need one more dickhead coming up here for a week out of the year to pretend they are a pioneer.

Something is fishy here.... definitely raise this up the flag pole

She's not the first crazy Billado. I was bullied by a Billado that tried to run me down in his car when I was in high school. I don't know if they're related but from the same area so it's possible.

I got diagnosed with a rare neurological disease back in November, I was in the hospital for about a month, and discharged just before Christmas.

I was supposed to have, and was scheduled to have, a neurology checkup every other week.

I’m going for my first follow-up tomorrow.

So, overall, not well.

Edit for clarity:my appointments we continually pushed or cancelled due to lack of providers.

VT State Park campgrounds are the best in New England. Make reservations for Lean-To sites. We pitch a small tent in the lean-to and stay dry when it rains. Our friends simply hang an oversized painters' tarp across the opening for privacy instead of using a tent, but I think it's a little buggier that way. The lean-tos usually have an overhang in the front and/or back where you might be able to shelter the bike too. All sites have a picnic table and a fire ring and I've never run across a campground that didn't have firewood for sale. Generally no food for sale in the campgrounds but we always find a small general store nearby.

A.) you need to meet more republicans, or even just look at what the Republican members of the legislature do for a living.

B.) equating manual labor to being poor or white is offensive and ignorant 🤦‍♂️

C.) what percentage of POC work manual labor jobs or are poor in Vt? What % of white people? I don’t think your assertion is even remotely close to being accurate.

Larry Hogan was a moderate Republican governor in a blue state (Maryland). Similar to Scott for his anti-Trump stance.

Thanks much everyone for your helpful suggestions.

The only reason that Phil Scott continues to win in Vermont is because there's enough people that think he'll be an effective check on a Democratic supermajority. The problem is, there are Republicans that are frustrated that he's not more "right" like DeSantis or Trump. Some were already named in this thread and "never say never" when it comes to politics. You don't want to take chances that they would win, hence the need to VOTE.

Maybe if the hospitals invested in doctors instead of administrative staff it'd be a different story.
